SHOWING what good intentions in public service could do, in a rare move, San Miguel Mayor Claudio Bonior donated his P300K prize as model mayor to help erect the new P.7 M municipal library and information center here.
During the inauguration of the facility that would also house the municipal tourism, information, archive and the Secretary to the Sanggunian last Tuesday, August 25, Mayor Bonior said he has long dreamt about the facility than can be the source of key developmental information to help his people.
Fully believing in people empowerment as a potent tool for poverty alleviation based on their experience of the community driven development (CDD) approach adopted for their government projects, opening up a venue for information sharing would enhance the approach, the mayor said.
It may be recalled that the town adopted the CDD approach for the Department of Social Welfare and Development Kapit-bisig Laban sa Kahirapan (KALAHI) Community Integrated Delivery Social Services (CIDSS), one that also pushed the mayor into the limelight for being a model in the project implementation.
The award came with a plaque of appreciation and P300K cash, one which the mayor also used to finance the municipal library and information center.
